Ah. Not-to-worry, arachnophobes.

In this case, "basement" = root cellar, or "cave" as the natives say. Not attached to the house.

That's one of the charms of old farm houses: you meet critters you never dreamed existed.

You all realize we ALL have spiders in our basements, right? This is a war we'll never win.

I for one, welcome our new overlords.

I loved that he used spray paint as the fuel. So even if he didn't burn the place down, he was going to leave quite the mess in that laundry room.

I don't think the type of spider matters here. The guy was obviously using enough meth that a daddy long legs probably seemed like the scariest SOB to ever walk the earth.

So--do you use the red straw extension or go nozzle direct?

Have to use the straw. Otherwise your flamethrower ends up send a ball of flames everywhere. Which may just be where this gentleman went wrong. Gotta keep that stream tight.

I can already picture the spider walking away from the slow motion explosion (without looking back, cool spiders do not look back at explosions). If I was this guy, I would sleep with one eye open...
